Wenger to smash transfer record again, claims Lord Harris

Arsenal director Lord Harris has declared that Arsene Wenger has been given significant funds to turn the side into title contenders this summer - and that he can easily break the club's transfer record if necessary.

Asked by the Evening Standard if the club could break their transfer record this summer, he said: “We would. It would be easy.

"If Arsene has asked for any player then we have always backed him to go and buy. With the exception of Messi, Ronaldo or Bale; we could buy most players."
